I take it that Khazers are out then, still I could argue that they had loads of Muslum mecerenies.

However, the Khazars themselves were mainly Jewish.

True a large part were Jewish from the late 8th Century.

But they did and you can field a large army made up of mainly muslum merceneries, IIRC one BG of Noble Cavalry only the remainder Bow armoured Merceneries/slav Light foot.

Rather misses the bit in the comp description that says "They must represent a nation that was mainly Muslim or Christian." - the nation, not the army.

Nik is correct. You could take Timurids or even Golden Horde but them Khazars were proper fence-sitters doomed to eternal damnation...etc.

How about a nice Late Crusader with the mixed spear and xbows and no LH whatsoever? You know you want to and I can even lend you the army.
